Abstract

Macrophage cell death contributes to the formation of plaque, leading to the development of atherosclerosis. The accumulation of triglyceride (TG) is also associated with the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. A previous study reported that TG induces the cell death of macrophages. This study examined whether the cytoplasmic release of cathepsin B from lysosome is associated with the TG-induced cell death of macrophage. The release of cathepsin B was increased in the TG-treated THP-1 macrophages, but the TG treatment did not affect cathepsin B expression. Furthermore, the inhibition of cathepsin B by its inhibitor, CA-074 Me, partially inhibited the TG-induced cell death of macrophage. TG-triggered macrophage cell death is mediated by the activation of caspase-1, -2, and apoptotic caspases. Therefore, this study investigated whether cathepsin B is implicated in the activation of these caspases. The inhibition of cathepsin B blocked the activation of caspase-7, -8, and -1 but did not affect the activity of caspase-3, -9, and -2. Overall, these results suggest that TG-induced cytoplasmic cathepsin B causes THP-1 macrophage cell death by activating caspase-1, leading to subsequent activation of the extrinsic apoptotic pathway.

대식세포사멸은 죽상판 형성에 영향을 미쳐 죽상동맥경화증 발병에 관여하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 중성지방 역시 죽상동맥경화 발병에 기여한다고 알려져 있는데 최근 본 연구팀에서는 중성지방이 대식세포사멸을 유발한다는 결과를 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 cathepsin B가 중성지방에 의해 유발되는 대식세포사멸 과정에 관여하는지 확인하고자 연구를 진행하였다. THP-1 대식세포에 중성지방 처리 시 cathepsin B의 발현량에는 변화가 없고 리소좀에 있던 cathepsin B가 세포질로 방출되어 세포질의 cathepsin B가 증가한 것을 확인하였다. 다음으로 cathepsin B 억제제인 CA-074 Me를 처리 시 중성지방에 의해 유도되는 대식세포사멸이 일부 회복되는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구팀의 이전 연구에서 중성지방에 의한 대식세포사멸이 caspase-1, -2 및 apoptotic caspase 활성화를 매개로 일어남을 확인하였기 때문에 본 연구에서는 이러한 caspase 활성 경로와 cathepsin B와의 연관성에 대해 연구하였다. cathepsin B 억제시 caspase-7, -8 및 -1의 활성은 억제되었으나, caspase-3, -9 및 -2는 활성에는 영향을 미치지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 정리하면, 중성지방에 의해 세포질로 방출된 cathepsin B는 caspase-1 활성화에 기여하고, 활성화된 caspase-1은 외인성 apoptotic caspase 경로를 활성화하여 THP-1 대식세포 사멸을 유발한다는 것을 알 수 있다.
